This article provides basic information about RecordPoint content databases and what contributes to their size, such as configuration and audit settings. Applies to RecordPoint on-premise solutions.
About RecordPoint Content Databases
RecordPoint uses a minimum of three content databases. One is used for the RecordPoint top-level Site, while all other databases are used to hold record content within what are called "storage sites." Storage sites and their corresponding databases are separated based on the type of content they hold:

These storage sites, the content types they hold, and their attached databases can be seen by going into Management > Storage Settings.

If your AuditData table already takes up more space than desired, you can migrate some of the old audit data into a new database - see this articleMigrating Audit Data to a New Database on how to do so.
To reach the RecordPointConfig list, append “/Lists/RecordPointConfig” to the end of your RecordPoint URL. If editing any values in this list, a cache refresh is required afterwards for the changes to take effect (Management > Cache Settings).
